I actually am aware of a couple of churches who, with a lot of hard work and education and awareness, have actually become truly inclusive. It's rare though. Not so much because of religion as because of people and tribalism generically. Once again, the doctrine of sanctification proves to be bogus. Being a Christian doesn't make you a better person.

Racism is alive and well in chistian america... who didn't know that. I believe they intentionally deceive themelves, such hypocritics. They actually believe jc instructed their leaders that he (jc) needs trump now... simple as that.
Politics, religion, increased racism, volatile, I get this sick feeling something will explode in the near future, maybe sporadically but wide spread.
With trump in charge, using any distraction to pass his tax giveaway to the 1%, now the maybe offer by North Korea to discuss arms reduction, anything to further distract from the Muller investigation...
I go off in tangents... you people make me think too much.
Racism, religion republicans... they go so well together.

People always create their savior in their image. Then they just say that "we're doing the Lords work"....which is really their own agenda, since Jesus is an imaginary proxy.
I still can't understand why any black person would want to have anything to do with this! BAMBOOZLED!

This is not new. I remember back in the early 2000s a growing church in the Kansas City suburbs had some reporters dress up as "less affluent and less white" looking individuals and visit on Sunday. They were not received well. It was a nasty newspaper article. I doubt much has changed.

Imagine experiencing this sentiment: "...Black congregants — as recounted by people in Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Fort Worth and elsewhere — had already grown uneasy in recent years as they watched their white pastors fail to address police shootings of African-Americans. They heard prayers for Paris, for Brussels, for law enforcement;..."

Very sad. It continues to amaze me that one can believe in the preachings of Jesus and still be racist.

So, white evangelicals are hate-filled, racist hypocrites.
Shocker.
